Coin Types — brainstorm

The commemorative coins a domain Stewardy mints to witness your journey — each with a visual form (your insight: a coin isn't always a disc). Resurfaced from the 07-10 council + expanded. ⭐ = the recommended core-4 (concrete, hard-to-fake triggers).

The forms (a coin can take a shape that carries its story): disc (default) · badge (a coin pressed into a shield — streaks/ongoing) · ribbon (a race-medal drop — firsts/milestones) · bridge-span (imprinted across a little arch — connection) · seam (a gold kintsugi crack — repair) · ember/hearth (a warm glow — care labor). Form = meaning at a glance.

⭐ Core set (recommended admit)

Bridge coinbridge-span⭐ council #1 (8/9)

You introduced two strangers who later co-created (earned a craft coin together). Imprinted across the span of a little bridge — two sides meeting in the middle.

Guardrail: mints only on the downstream co-creation, so it can't be faked. (Plexee/Weaver value.)
Hearth coinember⭐ 6/9 · "essential"

Repeated invisible support labor — setup, kitchen, cleanup, holding the container. A warm ember/hearth glow.

Verifiable + low-risk; honors the unseen work that makes a mush possible.
Witness coindisc · eye

Your witness attestation was used to mint someone's tile — you paid attention and it counted. An eye / echo motif.

Mend coinseam (kintsugi)

A consent-witnessed completed repair after a rupture. A gold seam healing a crack (kintsugi).

Highest value, highest risk → trigger stays brutally narrow + ALL parties consent (no drama-farming).

The everyday achievement coins

Streak coinbadge

Sustained practice — a coin pressed into a little shield/badge, stackable as the streak grows.

First / Milestone coinribbon

A significant first accomplishment — a ribbon drop like a race medal.

Craft coindisc

A demonstrated skill in a domain — the base credential a Stewardy mints for competence.

Unlock coindisc · key-notch

Reaching a threshold that opens a new depth/realm — a key-notch on the rim.

The kindness / social-fabric coins (admit few — see ⚠)

Kindness / Generosity coindisc · open-hands

A remembered act of care toward another (gifting a token, holding space, a quiet good turn). Open hands / a gift motif.

Risk: "ego tokens for being nice." Keep the trigger concrete + peer-attested, not self-claimed.
Mentor coinribbon · lineage

Someone you mentored becomes a steward / hits a milestone. Compounded, lineage generosity.

Edge coindisc · summit

A witnessed act at a pre-declared growth edge (pre-declaration blocks manufactured bravery).

Listen / Silence coindisc · quiet

Holding space without taking it — very on-ethos (co-regulation), but subtle to detect.

Welcome / Fold coindisc · first-tile

You onboarded a newcomer (a Nui) to their first tile — folded them into the group.

Comeback coinember · re-lit

Returning after an absence — a re-lit ember. Gentle, no shame.

⚠️ Council discernment (carry it): don't mint a coin for every virtue — "mercenary prosociality" breeds performed vulnerability + drama. Keep triggers concrete + downstream-verifiable + consent-gated; admit FEW. Recommendation: ship the ⭐ core-4 + the everyday achievement set first; hold the kindness/social ones as phase-2 with narrow triggers. Tell me which coins you're admitting and I'll send Craftee the exact visual set. — Designee · July 12
